A children’s yoga school built on connection and community.
What do I teach them?
Do I know enough?
What if they don’t listen?
These questions could make it easy to quit before you begin a journey of a lifetime. What if we told you, you’re already good enough, just as you are?
You don’t need to pay thousands of dollars and be an ‘expert’ at yoga to teach young people yoga—seriously.
But—training helps.
We teach adults who wish they discovered yoga earlier how to share it with young people they love the most.

Why train with us?

We think we are pretty awesome at teaching kids yoga, we do admit that, but we don’t believe there is an absolute way to do anything. We teach teachers, not outlines or scripts. When you train with us, you know that we are training you because we believe in you not just in the material in our manuals. Our trainees graduate confident enough to create their own classes and lead with a style that matches their authentic selves.

In the world today it is essential to have an understanding of trauma and mental health. Courtney Hart, developer of our training is not only a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher but also a licensed child and adolescent therapist with years of experience working with children and teens. Courtney has worked in a variety of settings and with children with a variety of histories and challenges. When we created this training, we developed it so that teachers could lead their students with instruction that feels welcoming and supportive.

We are lucky to have a wonderful network of yoga instructors, teacher trainers, educators, administrators, clinicians, doctors, parents, and more. We are frequently working together with others, and we bring that sense of community into our trainings. When you train with us, you become a part of the TIL family. In this community, you will find support and connection, things we are hard-wired to need to thrive in this life. We have a growing online community of yoga instructors and a variety of resources to connect you with to help you grow.
Get certified.
Certification means different things to different people, and we understand that your level of interest in training may vary based on your unique goals as a youth yoga instructor. To become certified, you simply attend the weekend instruction with our lead instructors, and then complete any virtual or at-home assignments required for your specific training.
Once you have completed your hours, finished up any assignments, and paid any remaining balance, you will receive a beautiful, personalized, signed certification from Therefore I Learn to display!
